At 11:30 a.m. on Friday, police officers at the C and E lines on 50th Street and 8th Avenue spotted an “erratic” man carrying a blade covered in a red substance that appeared to be blood on his back. Police described the man as “acting in a disorderly manner” on the mezzanine platform.
The man, identified as Justin Wojno, was taken into custody by police. Wojno was charged with criminal possession of a weapon. No people were injured, and the red substance was identified as syrup. Wojno’s arrest history includes domestic violence and burglary.
New York City has faced numerous notable incidents in its subway lines that have alarmed straphangers.
In May 2023, a homeless man, Jordan Neely, was killed by ex-Marine Daniel Penny after Penny placed Neely in a fatal chokehold. Penny claimed Neely was acting in a way that threatened other passengers and had restrained Neely for their safety.
In March, subway passenger Younence Obuad shot another man by the name of DaJuan Robinson, attacked Obuad and threatened him with a knife and gun. Robinson survived the shooting.
